First and foremost, THANK YOU so very much for signing the Petition! For decades, I have stood practically alone. Never have I seen such support.

As an update, on 22nd June, I held the demonstration outside of where I worked at RBC on 200 Bay Street in Toronto. I have posted photos and written updates on a Facebook page created to share my stories, RBC as only the FIRST, of systemic racism in the working world. Here is the link (please Like and Share it): https://www.facebook.com/Adding-My-Voice-109804214112413/

I reached out to over a dozen media outlets (TV and print), both during the protest and in writing, right afterwards. I then forwarded that message to the elected officials who represent me at the Municipal, Provincial and Federal levels, copying in the Mayors of Toronto and Hamilton. More  than 2 weeks after, beyond auto-responses, NO ONE has responded to me. I will be following-up, then escalating to the leaders of all Federal Parties.

This has been a marathon all along. Your continued support is crucial. If you have not already done so, I am asking you to please encourage 3 others to sign, with each then asking 3 more to do so as well, and so on. We are approaching 500 signatures after only 2 weeks. Imagine how much the list can grow if we ask others to sign. You will never understand how much this means.Thank you so much!
